1
00:00:05,397 --> 00:00:06,630
Narrator:
He was a world-renowned
psychic,
2
00:00:06,665 --> 00:00:10,183
Who claimed to receive visions
while in a trance.
3
00:00:10,260 --> 00:00:13,436
Caroline cory:
Edgar cayce would
download messages
4
00:00:13,471 --> 00:00:14,771
During his sleep.
5
00:00:14,848 --> 00:00:17,016
He was able to receive messages
6
00:00:17,125 --> 00:00:18,575
On all sorts of topics,
7
00:00:18,610 --> 00:00:21,578
From past lives
to future events...
8
00:00:21,613 --> 00:00:22,596
You name it.
9
00:00:22,672 --> 00:00:25,290
Narrator:
He could diagnose any ailment
10
00:00:25,367 --> 00:00:27,267
And prescribe a cure.
11
00:00:27,302 --> 00:00:30,970
Giorgio tsoukalos:
Edgar cayce,
as a fact, has healed
12
00:00:31,048 --> 00:00:33,515
And helped thousands of people
13
00:00:33,592 --> 00:00:35,050
And did amazing things.
14
00:00:35,127 --> 00:00:38,954
Narrator:
And he professed
to have had encounters
15
00:00:38,956 --> 00:00:40,855
With otherworldly beings.
16
00:00:40,933 --> 00:00:45,602
Andrew collins:
Edgar cayce said that
he received information
17
00:00:45,637 --> 00:00:47,554
From some kind of angel.
18
00:00:47,556 --> 00:00:52,642
Narrator:
Could it be that edgar cayce
was not merely clairvoyant,
19
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:57,122
But a vessel used to carry out
an alien agenda?
20
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:00,984
David childress:
You have to wonder
if edgar cayce wasn't chosen
21
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:02,619
By extraterrestrials
22
00:01:02,654 --> 00:01:05,397
To be a messenger to mankind.
23
00:01:08,143 --> 00:01:10,152
Narrator:
There is a doorway
24
00:01:10,229 --> 00:01:13,013
In the universe.
25
00:01:13,089 --> 00:01:17,167
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
26
00:01:17,169 --> 00:01:19,753
It demands
we question everything
27
00:01:19,829 --> 00:01:22,072
We have ever been taught.
28
00:01:22,149 --> 00:01:25,592
The evidence is all around us.
29
00:01:25,627 --> 00:01:29,746
The future is
right before our eyes.
30
00:01:29,781 --> 00:01:32,557
We are not alone.
31
00:01:32,559 --> 00:01:35,844
We have never been alone.
32
00:01:43,612 --> 00:01:47,272
Dolní vestonice,
the czech republic.
33
00:01:47,274 --> 00:01:52,427
In 1949, archaeologists
conducting excavations
34
00:01:52,504 --> 00:01:54,321
Near this ancient village
35
00:01:54,356 --> 00:01:57,448
Came upon the remains
of a middle-aged woman.
36
00:01:57,450 --> 00:02:00,377
Based on the manner
in which she was buried,
37
00:02:00,453 --> 00:02:03,680
And the ritual items
discovered with her body,
38
00:02:03,715 --> 00:02:06,199
They determined
that she was a shaman,
39
00:02:06,234 --> 00:02:10,170
And more significantly,
the oldest shaman
40
00:02:10,205 --> 00:02:15,926
Ever discovered, having died
roughly 30,000 years ago.
41
00:02:17,053 --> 00:02:20,805
Throughout human history,
and in every culture,
42
00:02:20,807 --> 00:02:24,459
Shamans have been people
who appear to have the ability
43
00:02:24,536 --> 00:02:26,854
To communicate
with a higher realm,
44
00:02:26,889 --> 00:02:31,674
Cure the sick,
and even see into the future.
45
00:02:31,751 --> 00:02:34,811
But perhaps the most astounding
of them all
46
00:02:34,888 --> 00:02:38,298
Is a modern-day prophet
from the hills of kentucky
47
00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:40,367
Named edgar cayce.
48
00:02:41,311 --> 00:02:45,012
Edgar cayce was arguably
the most significant
49
00:02:45,014 --> 00:02:47,249
Christian mystic
of the 20th century.
50
00:02:48,343 --> 00:02:51,761
Lynn picknett:
His reputation
preceded him en-enormously.
51
00:02:51,838 --> 00:02:56,507
He became incredibly famous for
his readings and his healings.
52
00:02:56,509 --> 00:03:00,554
Deepak shimkhada:
He was unlike any other psychic
53
00:03:00,556 --> 00:03:03,390
Who could do one ability
at a time.
54
00:03:03,425 --> 00:03:07,244
He could predict the future
or he could heal someone,
55
00:03:07,279 --> 00:03:08,094
All at once.
56
00:03:08,171 --> 00:03:11,981
There is no one
like edgar cayce,
57
00:03:11,983 --> 00:03:13,616
Before and after him.
58
00:03:13,618 --> 00:03:18,989
Narrator:
Edgar cayce was born
on a southern farm in 1877
59
00:03:19,024 --> 00:03:21,091
And came from humble beginnings.
60
00:03:21,877 --> 00:03:26,054
But, over his lifetime,
he would become world-renowned,
61
00:03:26,131 --> 00:03:30,041
Recording more than
14,000 psychic readings,
62
00:03:30,043 --> 00:03:32,227
Making him
one of the most prolific
63
00:03:32,304 --> 00:03:35,455
And documented mediums
of the 20th century.
64
00:03:35,532 --> 00:03:38,442
And, according to
cayce's friends and family,
65
00:03:38,477 --> 00:03:43,646
His unique gifts were on display
from a very early age.
66
00:03:44,557 --> 00:03:46,816
Corrine cayce:
Edgar cayce
was my great-grandfather,
67
00:03:46,818 --> 00:03:50,395
And there are these stories
that I heard for my whole life
68
00:03:50,472 --> 00:03:54,107
About the breathtaking
69
00:03:54,142 --> 00:03:56,634
Level of his psychic ability.
70
00:03:57,412 --> 00:04:00,814
From a pretty early age,
his psychic ability
71
00:04:00,890 --> 00:04:04,575
And his psychic experiences
were happening for him.
72
00:04:04,577 --> 00:04:06,661
The stories that
I would hear was that
73
00:04:06,663 --> 00:04:10,248
The way that his psychic ability
kind of formally started
74
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:13,418
Was through a very
particular experience
75
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:18,756
That happened one afternoon
when he was outside by a creek
76
00:04:18,758 --> 00:04:20,500
Where he had built
this little fort,
77
00:04:20,577 --> 00:04:22,435
And he was reading the bible.
78
00:04:22,470 --> 00:04:26,247
From a very young age,
he discovered the bible,
79
00:04:26,325 --> 00:04:27,941
And he loved to read it.
80
00:04:27,943 --> 00:04:32,187
And he heard
a woman's voice call his name.
81
00:04:32,264 --> 00:04:36,275
And he looked up,
and it was a figure of a woman
82
00:04:36,351 --> 00:04:38,860
Who had wings.
83
00:04:38,937 --> 00:04:43,690
Horowitz:
This feminine apparition
told him that he possessed
84
00:04:43,725 --> 00:04:46,284
Some kind of extra gift
of insight,
85
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:49,479
And he was asked
what did he want in life?
86
00:04:49,556 --> 00:04:52,866
And he responded that he wanted
to find ways to help people,
87
00:04:52,901 --> 00:04:55,042
And this angelic apparition
88
00:04:55,044 --> 00:04:57,921
Said to him,
"thy wish shall be granted."
89
00:04:57,956 --> 00:05:01,141
And thereafter,
edgar's psychical
90
00:05:01,143 --> 00:05:04,469
Or clairvoyant abilities
seemed to increase.
91
00:05:06,323 --> 00:05:09,049
Narrator:
Cayce claimed that
this winged visitor
92
00:05:09,125 --> 00:05:12,019
Soon returned
and began to instruct him
93
00:05:12,054 --> 00:05:16,556
On how to unlock his
incredible psychic abilities.
94
00:05:16,591 --> 00:05:18,774
His father was quizzing him
on the spelling words
95
00:05:18,776 --> 00:05:22,078
That he needed to have memorized
for school the next day.
96
00:05:22,155 --> 00:05:24,698
And, uh, he was getting
increasingly frustrated,
97
00:05:24,733 --> 00:05:29,644
And edgar was feeling defeated
and sad and very tired.
98
00:05:29,721 --> 00:05:33,656
And, finally,
edgar heard a voice inside
99
00:05:33,733 --> 00:05:36,893
That was the same voice
that he had heard the day before
100
00:05:36,928 --> 00:05:39,654
At the creek,
this woman's voice who said,
101
00:05:39,731 --> 00:05:43,633
"if you'll sleep on your book,
we can help you."
102
00:05:43,635 --> 00:05:48,188
Horowitz:
Edgar went to sleep with
a schoolbook under his pillow,
103
00:05:48,223 --> 00:05:51,825
And he awoke the ability
to have memorized
104
00:05:51,860 --> 00:05:54,794
All the key lessons
that appeared in the schoolbook.
105
00:05:54,872 --> 00:05:57,939
And this uneven student
went to school the next day,
106
00:05:57,941 --> 00:05:59,349
And he aced it.
107
00:05:59,426 --> 00:06:04,621
Collins:
Something was guiding him.
What was this angel?
108
00:06:04,697 --> 00:06:08,258
Who was this angel?
Obviously, we cannot say, but
109
00:06:08,293 --> 00:06:12,371
Cayce was being influenced
by otherworldly intelligences.
110
00:06:12,447 --> 00:06:14,747
Narrator:
Is it possible,
111
00:06:14,749 --> 00:06:18,709
As ancient astronaut theorists
suggest, that edgar cayce
112
00:06:18,711 --> 00:06:22,330
Was visited by
an otherworldly being?
113
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,825
And did he truly possess
psychic abilities?
114
00:06:26,795 --> 00:06:29,045
According to those
who have studied edgar cayce's
115
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,874
Life and readings, some of
the most compelling evidence
116
00:06:32,951 --> 00:06:35,468
Can be found
by examining accounts
117
00:06:35,470 --> 00:06:37,153
Of his astounding ability
118
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:40,607
To both diagnose
and cure illnesses.
119
00:06:41,726 --> 00:06:45,069
Edgar spent his first 20 years
120
00:06:45,071 --> 00:06:47,781
Focusing on health readings
for people,
121
00:06:47,816 --> 00:06:50,641
But he didn't go
and examine the people.
122
00:06:50,719 --> 00:06:54,937
He could access them
clairvoyantly
123
00:06:55,015 --> 00:06:58,708
And actually see
the condition of their body,
124
00:06:58,710 --> 00:07:01,394
The blood condition,
the injuries they had had,
125
00:07:01,429 --> 00:07:06,566
And start to prescribe
a way of overcoming the ailment
126
00:07:06,601 --> 00:07:08,367
They were dealing with.
127
00:07:08,445 --> 00:07:12,855
And he would give them
sometimes very strange formulas
128
00:07:12,932 --> 00:07:16,435
To get through toward healing.
129
00:07:17,545 --> 00:07:20,080
Narrator:
Cayce had no medical training
130
00:07:20,115 --> 00:07:22,365
And had not even
attended high school.
131
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:25,927
He claimed that visions
of the past, present,
132
00:07:26,004 --> 00:07:30,598
And future would come to him
while in a self-induced trance.
133
00:07:30,676 --> 00:07:34,101
It was this practice
that earned him the nickname
134
00:07:34,179 --> 00:07:36,454
"the sleeping prophet."
135
00:07:36,456 --> 00:07:39,949
Edgar cayce would
lay down on a couch
136
00:07:40,026 --> 00:07:44,171
And put himself into
a self-induced hypnotic state.
137
00:07:45,390 --> 00:07:49,508
And his breathing would deepen,
and his eyelids would flutter,
138
00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:51,236
Like they do
when we're in rem sleep.
139
00:07:51,313 --> 00:07:54,380
He would wake up
and have absolutely
140
00:07:54,457 --> 00:07:56,683
No memory of what he had said.
141
00:07:59,270 --> 00:08:04,165
Narrator:
Although edgar cayce performed
his readings while in a trance,
142
00:08:04,167 --> 00:08:08,094
A rare audio recording reveals
that he spoke clearly
143
00:08:08,171 --> 00:08:10,413
And gave very specific
instructions
144
00:08:10,448 --> 00:08:12,908
When providing health remedies.
145
00:08:47,452 --> 00:08:52,605
One of the most amazing,
uh, health stories
146
00:08:52,682 --> 00:08:56,292
In the cayce psychic files
147
00:08:56,369 --> 00:08:58,603
Is his own wife, gertrude.
148
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:01,522
She contracted tuberculosis.
149
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,542
That was the kiss of death
in those days.
150
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:08,696
Corinne:
Gertrude asked edgar
to please give her a reading
151
00:09:08,774 --> 00:09:13,050
To see if she could get better,
and edgar was terrified
152
00:09:13,052 --> 00:09:15,494
That what he might say
might cause
153
00:09:15,572 --> 00:09:18,205
This person,
who is the most precious to him,
154
00:09:18,283 --> 00:09:19,890
Harm in any way.
155
00:09:19,892 --> 00:09:22,735
But, at that point,
she was going to die,
156
00:09:22,812 --> 00:09:24,020
According to the doctors.
157
00:09:24,055 --> 00:09:26,856
And so, he did
give her the reading.
158
00:09:28,335 --> 00:09:30,910
And there were suggestions
that were given
159
00:09:30,945 --> 00:09:34,197
In that reading
for her getting better.
160
00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:36,574
Here's the formula:
161
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:41,137
You had to get a two-gallon
charred oak keg,
162
00:09:41,172 --> 00:09:45,249
And you had to put
heated apple brandy in it,
163
00:09:45,251 --> 00:09:50,237
And inhale the fumes
deeply into your lungs.
164
00:09:50,907 --> 00:09:55,576
All she did was inhale
the fumes coming out of the keg,
165
00:09:55,654 --> 00:09:58,663
And she recovered
from tuberculosis.
166
00:09:58,740 --> 00:10:03,476
And then he started, uh,
prescribing this method
167
00:10:03,511 --> 00:10:07,939
To many other people,
and it worked. It worked.
168
00:10:08,984 --> 00:10:11,151
Narrator:
Many of the natural remedies
169
00:10:11,153 --> 00:10:13,686
Cayce prescribed
are still used today.
170
00:10:13,763 --> 00:10:17,264
And, in fact,
he was one of the first people
171
00:10:17,342 --> 00:10:20,760
To introduce holistic medicine
to the western world,
172
00:10:20,795 --> 00:10:23,413
In which body, mind, and spirit
173
00:10:23,448 --> 00:10:26,015
Are considered together
in the management
174
00:10:26,017 --> 00:10:27,900
And prevention of illnesses.
175
00:10:27,902 --> 00:10:31,445
But if some
otherworldly intelligence
176
00:10:31,523 --> 00:10:34,281
Was responsible
for helping him to develop
177
00:10:34,392 --> 00:10:35,892
His psychic abilities--
178
00:10:35,968 --> 00:10:38,544
As ancient astronaut
theorists suggest--
179
00:10:38,546 --> 00:10:41,580
What could have been
the purpose?
180
00:10:41,658 --> 00:10:43,925
Perhaps further clues
can be found
181
00:10:44,002 --> 00:10:46,636
By examining cayce's
incredible predictions
182
00:10:46,671 --> 00:10:51,399
About events that would
change the course of humanity.
183
00:10:55,130 --> 00:10:59,115
Narrator:
A prodigy in numerous
psychic arts from a young age,
184
00:10:59,150 --> 00:11:03,644
Edgar cayce quickly rose to fame
in the early 20th century
185
00:11:03,722 --> 00:11:07,707
As one of the most sought-after
clairvoyants of his time.
186
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:12,061
Horowitz:
Cayce first became
known nationally
187
00:11:12,096 --> 00:11:14,247
Through a story on the cover
188
00:11:14,323 --> 00:11:17,734
Of the new york times
in fall of 1910.
189
00:11:17,736 --> 00:11:19,994
The headline was,
"illiterate man
190
00:11:20,071 --> 00:11:23,556
Becomes a doctor
when hypnotized."
191
00:11:24,442 --> 00:11:25,766
Cayce was not illiterate,
192
00:11:25,844 --> 00:11:28,361
But nor did he have
much formal schooling,
193
00:11:28,437 --> 00:11:30,504
Uh, beyond his early
grade school years.
194
00:11:30,582 --> 00:11:35,025
Picknett:
He went from being
a fairly humble farm boy,
195
00:11:35,027 --> 00:11:37,437
To being a superstar.
196
00:11:37,513 --> 00:11:42,075
And it's astonishing how quickly
197
00:11:42,110 --> 00:11:45,378
Edgar cayce became famous
and influential.
198
00:11:45,413 --> 00:11:46,621
He didn't want it.
199
00:11:47,532 --> 00:11:50,099
Narrator:
Although he did not
aspire to it,
200
00:11:50,134 --> 00:11:54,938
Edgar cayce found both fame
and fortune in the 1920s.
201
00:11:54,973 --> 00:11:59,567
Word quickly spread about
his ability to not only diagnose
202
00:11:59,644 --> 00:12:03,963
And treat illnesses,
but also to predict the future.
203
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,209
Cayce's eerily accurate readings
drew the attention
204
00:12:08,286 --> 00:12:10,103
Of thousands of believers,
205
00:12:10,138 --> 00:12:14,056
Including high-profile clients
like thomas edison,
206
00:12:14,133 --> 00:12:18,127
Harry houdini,
and george gershwin.
207
00:12:19,013 --> 00:12:21,906
Picknett:
There's even evidence
that president woodrow wilson
208
00:12:21,908 --> 00:12:23,116
Had a reading with him.
209
00:12:23,151 --> 00:12:26,119
And, indeed, other high-ranking
members of the u.S. Government.
210
00:12:26,154 --> 00:12:29,722
Narrator:
Cayce also claimed
to receive visions
211
00:12:29,757 --> 00:12:31,790
Concerning major world events,
212
00:12:31,792 --> 00:12:35,645
And one in particular would
forever change public perception
213
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:38,089
Of his supposed talents.
214
00:12:38,917 --> 00:12:41,860
It was a prediction
of a pivotal moment
215
00:12:41,936 --> 00:12:43,419
In u.S. History,
216
00:12:43,496 --> 00:12:48,274
The stock market crash of 1929.
217
00:12:48,351 --> 00:12:50,451
Van auken:
In 1925,
218
00:12:50,528 --> 00:12:55,439
Edgar cayce told his biggest
financial supporter
219
00:12:55,441 --> 00:12:57,817
To sell all his stocks.
220
00:12:57,852 --> 00:13:00,945
And he started to unload
his stocks,
221
00:13:00,947 --> 00:13:04,290
But the market kept going up,
and his friends
222
00:13:04,367 --> 00:13:07,702
Were making so much money,
he bought back in.
223
00:13:08,646 --> 00:13:14,033
And then, in October of 1929,
he lost everything.
224
00:13:14,110 --> 00:13:15,776
Narrator:
In a matter of weeks,
225
00:13:15,778 --> 00:13:18,855
The world sank
into the great depression,
226
00:13:18,857 --> 00:13:21,174
Just as edgar cayce predicted.
227
00:13:21,209 --> 00:13:24,226
But this would not be
the only time edgar cayce's
228
00:13:24,303 --> 00:13:29,224
Visions seemed to accurately
predict major events in history.
229
00:13:30,068 --> 00:13:33,719
Horowitz:
In the mid-1930s, edgar forecast
230
00:13:33,754 --> 00:13:38,041
A great conflict on the horizon
of world events.
231
00:13:38,076 --> 00:13:41,668
This was often seen as presaging
232
00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:44,054
The invasion of poland,
233
00:13:44,132 --> 00:13:46,783
And the events that led
to the second world war.
234
00:13:48,252 --> 00:13:50,903
Narrator:
Early on in his career
as a psychic,
235
00:13:50,980 --> 00:13:54,315
Edgar cayce would become
disturbed when a reading
236
00:13:54,392 --> 00:13:56,483
Predicted something ominous,
237
00:13:56,561 --> 00:13:59,228
Whether it had to do
with a single individual
238
00:13:59,338 --> 00:14:02,549
Or an event that affected
the entire world.
239
00:14:02,551 --> 00:14:06,611
As a devout christian,
he worried that his visions
240
00:14:06,613 --> 00:14:09,055
Might be coming
from a dark place.
241
00:14:09,090 --> 00:14:11,950
Corinne:
It was deeply unsettling
and scary for him.
242
00:14:12,026 --> 00:14:14,276
At a certain point,
he fully committed to it,
243
00:14:14,353 --> 00:14:16,278
But there was a number of years
244
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,505
Where he was picking it up
and putting it back down,
245
00:14:18,583 --> 00:14:20,066
Wanting to have nothing
to do with it.
246
00:14:20,101 --> 00:14:25,405
A constant question that he was
working with is, "is this okay?
247
00:14:25,514 --> 00:14:30,534
"can I devote myself to this
and be the type of christian
248
00:14:30,536 --> 00:14:34,079
That I know myself to be?"
249
00:14:34,081 --> 00:14:37,600
As more and more time went on,
to hear people say to him
250
00:14:37,635 --> 00:14:40,202
How he had literally
saved their life
251
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:43,106
Or their child's life
or their family member's life,
252
00:14:43,141 --> 00:14:44,924
That was really
important to him.
253
00:14:46,569 --> 00:14:50,263
Narrator:
In 1931,
cayce told his followers
254
00:14:50,298 --> 00:14:53,883
That he now knew the source
of his remarkable insights,
255
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,468
And that they came to him
256
00:14:55,544 --> 00:14:59,396
From a vast otherworldly
repository of information
257
00:14:59,398 --> 00:15:01,724
Called the akashic record.
258
00:15:02,644 --> 00:15:06,553
The akashic record, which is
a hindu, uh, terminology,
259
00:15:06,631 --> 00:15:10,133
Is this ethereal cloud
260
00:15:10,135 --> 00:15:12,851
That exists
throughout the universe,
261
00:15:12,929 --> 00:15:16,230
In which any and all knowledge--
262
00:15:16,307 --> 00:15:20,292
Past, present, and future--
is contained.
263
00:15:20,294 --> 00:15:24,872
And some individuals
are able to tap into
264
00:15:24,874 --> 00:15:30,236
This timeless resource
of knowledge.
265
00:15:30,271 --> 00:15:35,424
Shimkhada:
In hindu mythology,
there are several instances
266
00:15:35,426 --> 00:15:39,579
Where conversation
takes place between
267
00:15:39,614 --> 00:15:44,425
Some entity up in the sky
and here on earth.
268
00:15:44,502 --> 00:15:46,653
And that conversation,
269
00:15:46,762 --> 00:15:49,947
That voice is called akash vani.
270
00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:53,934
Akash meaning "sky,"
vani meaning "speech."
271
00:15:54,579 --> 00:15:58,531
So, I think,
in the case of edgar cayce,
272
00:15:58,607 --> 00:16:02,418
He's hearing some voices
from up there
273
00:16:02,453 --> 00:16:06,631
While he's channeling
trying to get the source.
274
00:16:09,678 --> 00:16:13,212
Narrator:
Throughout history, there
are numerous famous examples
275
00:16:13,289 --> 00:16:16,215
Of people who professed
to access knowledge
276
00:16:16,292 --> 00:16:17,641
From another realm.
277
00:16:17,643 --> 00:16:22,479
The great 15th-century artist
and inventor leonardo da vinci
278
00:16:22,481 --> 00:16:24,824
Wrote that he would stare
at the flickering light
279
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:27,485
From a candle to enter
a meditative state
280
00:16:27,562 --> 00:16:30,379
In which he could access
new ideas.
281
00:16:30,949 --> 00:16:34,700
In the early 20th century,
genius mathematician
282
00:16:34,702 --> 00:16:38,937
Srinivasa ramanujan claimed
that complex equations
283
00:16:39,015 --> 00:16:42,082
Were communicated to him
in his dreams.
284
00:16:42,084 --> 00:16:46,379
And one of the pioneers
of electricity, nikola tesla,
285
00:16:46,414 --> 00:16:50,550
Said that his revelation for how
to harness alternating current
286
00:16:50,585 --> 00:16:54,737
Came to him in a moment when
he felt that some outside source
287
00:16:54,772 --> 00:16:57,140
Had entered his consciousness.
288
00:16:58,176 --> 00:17:02,228
Nikola tesla claimed that
he would envision
289
00:17:02,263 --> 00:17:05,264
These many inventions
that he created.
290
00:17:05,341 --> 00:17:11,178
So, it's possible that tesla
himself was tapping into
291
00:17:11,256 --> 00:17:16,366
The akashic record, just like
edgar cayce was talking about.
292
00:17:16,368 --> 00:17:18,870
Jonathan young:
It is as if our great thinkers
293
00:17:18,946 --> 00:17:21,630
Are tapping into something
that is there
294
00:17:21,707 --> 00:17:24,399
And beyond our understanding.
295
00:17:24,477 --> 00:17:27,044
And that, perhaps, people
of a certain intellect
296
00:17:27,046 --> 00:17:28,804
Are able to open to that.
297
00:17:28,881 --> 00:17:32,883
And their genius is to see
beyond what we are seeing.
298
00:17:33,611 --> 00:17:36,312
Narrator:
Is it possible that
certain individuals
299
00:17:36,388 --> 00:17:39,699
Throughout human history,
like edgar cayce,
300
00:17:39,734 --> 00:17:41,300
Had the unique ability to access
301
00:17:41,377 --> 00:17:44,136
The infinite knowledge
of the universe?
302
00:17:44,213 --> 00:17:48,808
And if so, did these mystics
come to this gift by chance?
303
00:17:48,884 --> 00:17:52,427
Or could they have been
chosen for it?
304
00:17:52,580 --> 00:17:58,500
Collins:
Because we know that edgar cayce
had an incredible visitation
305
00:17:58,577 --> 00:18:02,079
From what he described
as an angel,
306
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:04,173
Could this connection
307
00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:07,460
Be something
that was given to him
308
00:18:07,495 --> 00:18:09,678
By higher intelligences?
309
00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:14,066
Perhaps by extraterrestrials
or extra-dimensional beings?
310
00:18:14,101 --> 00:18:16,969
Yes, of course. Absolutely.
311
00:18:18,013 --> 00:18:20,439
Childress:
Because of his
psychic abilities,
312
00:18:20,516 --> 00:18:23,083
He was able then to communicate
313
00:18:23,161 --> 00:18:26,436
All kinds of esoteric ideas,
314
00:18:26,438 --> 00:18:32,293
But, yet, they were coming
from a very normal person.
315
00:18:32,370 --> 00:18:35,688
You have to wonder if
edgar cayce wasn't chosen,
316
00:18:35,764 --> 00:18:40,509
Say, by extraterrestrials,
to be a messenger to mankind.
317
00:18:41,270 --> 00:18:45,331
Narrator:
If there is a reason
that edgar cayce was chosen
318
00:18:45,366 --> 00:18:47,291
By an otherworldly intelligence
319
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:51,520
To receive this knowledge,
just what was that purpose?
320
00:18:51,555 --> 00:18:54,556
There are some
ancient astronaut theorists
321
00:18:54,633 --> 00:18:57,618
Who believe
that edgar cayce was chosen
322
00:18:57,695 --> 00:19:00,312
Not only to share visions
of the future,
323
00:19:00,347 --> 00:19:04,809
But to convey lost knowledge
from our ancient past.
324
00:19:13,986 --> 00:19:16,553
Narrator:
Edgar cayce calls a gathering
325
00:19:16,631 --> 00:19:21,567
Of his closest supporters for
a series of special readings.
326
00:19:21,644 --> 00:19:25,070
Up until this time,
cayce's readings
327
00:19:25,147 --> 00:19:27,373
Most often involved
future predictions
328
00:19:27,483 --> 00:19:30,092
Or remedies to heal the sick,
329
00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:33,253
But on this occasion,
he will instead be called upon
330
00:19:33,331 --> 00:19:36,507
To access the ancient past.
331
00:19:36,584 --> 00:19:39,368
One of edgar cayce's
fascinating readings
332
00:19:39,445 --> 00:19:41,846
Was about the
great pyramid of egypt.
333
00:19:42,706 --> 00:19:45,925
The great pyramid is
on the dollar bill.
334
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,278
And so, everybody who has
a dollar bill in their pocket
335
00:19:49,313 --> 00:19:52,965
Is carrying around a picture
of the great pyramid.
336
00:19:53,042 --> 00:19:56,443
It's one of the most famous
structures in the world.
337
00:19:56,445 --> 00:19:59,855
And yet, there's so much
about the great pyramid of egypt
338
00:19:59,932 --> 00:20:02,925
Which remains a mystery
to this day.
339
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,521
Narrator:
The 480-foot-tall
great pyramid of giza
340
00:20:07,598 --> 00:20:10,857
Consists of over two million
stone blocks
341
00:20:10,859 --> 00:20:13,619
Weighing a total
of six million tons.
342
00:20:13,696 --> 00:20:17,047
It stands perfectly level
343
00:20:17,049 --> 00:20:19,716
And is more closely aligned
to true north
344
00:20:19,718 --> 00:20:22,219
Than any other structure
on earth,
345
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:25,464
Built either in ancient
or modern times.
346
00:20:26,484 --> 00:20:30,819
The great pyramid of giza
is a marvel of architecture.
347
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:36,192
It's something that you cannot,
you just cannot replicate today.
348
00:20:37,603 --> 00:20:40,312
Which makes you wonder,
349
00:20:40,389 --> 00:20:43,032
How did they have
all this knowledge
350
00:20:43,067 --> 00:20:45,993
And what kind
of knowledge they had?
351
00:20:47,004 --> 00:20:49,655
Narrator:
According to most egyptologists,
352
00:20:49,732 --> 00:20:51,474
The great pyramid of giza
353
00:20:51,509 --> 00:20:54,477
Was constructed
during a 20-year period
354
00:20:54,512 --> 00:20:56,462
By order of the pharaoh khufu,
355
00:20:56,497 --> 00:20:59,982
Sometime around 2500 bc.
356
00:21:00,584 --> 00:21:03,970
But when edgar cayce
was asked about the origins
357
00:21:04,005 --> 00:21:06,422
Of the great pyramid in 1932,
358
00:21:06,457 --> 00:21:10,859
He placed the iconic structure
at a much earlier date.
359
00:21:10,936 --> 00:21:14,663
Edgar cayce said that it was
actually built somewhere around
360
00:21:14,698 --> 00:21:16,916
10,490 bc,
361
00:21:16,951 --> 00:21:22,154
8,000 years before
traditional egyptologists
362
00:21:22,189 --> 00:21:23,631
Said it was constructed.
363
00:21:23,707 --> 00:21:27,535
Now, in the 1930s, this is
an astounding statement to make.
364
00:21:28,513 --> 00:21:31,097
Narrator:
Cayce also claimed
that the sphinx,
365
00:21:31,132 --> 00:21:33,298
Which sits near
the great pyramid
366
00:21:33,375 --> 00:21:37,194
On the giza plateau,
dates to this same period,
367
00:21:37,271 --> 00:21:41,841
Which geologist robert schoch
believes is accurate,
368
00:21:41,876 --> 00:21:44,302
Based on his own examination
of the monument
369
00:21:44,378 --> 00:21:46,712
And water erosion
that can be found
370
00:21:46,789 --> 00:21:49,390
Around the base
of the structure.
371
00:21:50,651 --> 00:21:54,036
After studying the sphinx
in great detail,
372
00:21:54,071 --> 00:21:56,622
Looking at the weathering
and erosion,
373
00:21:56,657 --> 00:22:01,160
I've come to the conclusion
that, in fact,
374
00:22:01,162 --> 00:22:04,638
The sphinx has its origins
going back to before the end
375
00:22:04,715 --> 00:22:09,869
Of the last ice age,
so around 10,000 or so bce.
376
00:22:09,904 --> 00:22:11,904
This happens to be the date
377
00:22:11,939 --> 00:22:13,830
That edgar cayce
was talking about.
378
00:22:13,832 --> 00:22:18,544
Narrator:
Could it be that edgar cayce's
reading was correct
379
00:22:18,579 --> 00:22:21,246
And that the extraordinary
structures that stand
380
00:22:21,323 --> 00:22:26,886
On the giza plateau were built
more than 12,000 years ago?
381
00:22:27,864 --> 00:22:31,857
During his reading, cayce
also made the astounding claim
382
00:22:31,934 --> 00:22:34,684
That the builders
of the pyramid were somehow
383
00:22:34,762 --> 00:22:39,248
Able to make the giant stone
blocks float through the air.
384
00:22:39,283 --> 00:22:42,902
Van auken:
Edgar cayce said
the structure was built
385
00:22:42,937 --> 00:22:46,422
Using powers
that we don't understand.
386
00:22:46,457 --> 00:22:48,849
He said the ancient egyptians
387
00:22:48,926 --> 00:22:51,376
Knew how to float
stone in the air
388
00:22:51,453 --> 00:22:54,430
Like we know how to float
iron on water.
389
00:22:54,465 --> 00:22:58,300
And people still wonder
if it's...
390
00:22:58,377 --> 00:23:01,587
Levitation,
if it's gas balloons.
391
00:23:01,622 --> 00:23:03,255
We don't know for sure.
392
00:23:04,550 --> 00:23:07,943
Narrator:
Cayce's readings concerning
the ancient past
393
00:23:07,978 --> 00:23:10,720
Were not limited to just egypt.
394
00:23:10,722 --> 00:23:14,374
He also commented on another
topic that is well known
395
00:23:14,452 --> 00:23:19,563
To ancient astronaut theorists,
the bible's book of ezekiel.
396
00:23:19,565 --> 00:23:22,775
In this text,
the hebrew prophet ezekiel
397
00:23:22,810 --> 00:23:26,962
Describes a fiery chariot
with wheels within wheels,
398
00:23:26,997 --> 00:23:30,783
Descending from the sky
in a whirlwind.
399
00:23:30,818 --> 00:23:33,252
Edgar cayce, uh, talked about
400
00:23:33,287 --> 00:23:35,745
Ezekiel in the bible
and the spinning wheels
401
00:23:35,747 --> 00:23:39,125
Being a visitation
by an extraterrestrial craft.
402
00:23:40,128 --> 00:23:42,520
Cayce really seems to include
403
00:23:42,596 --> 00:23:46,181
E.T.S in the timeline
of human evolution.
404
00:23:46,258 --> 00:23:48,509
He talks about extraterrestrials
405
00:23:48,586 --> 00:23:50,553
Showing up
in mayan times as well.
406
00:23:51,556 --> 00:23:55,691
Narrator:
Cayce said that there were
undiscovered pyramids in mexico,
407
00:23:55,767 --> 00:23:58,160
The home of the mayan empire.
408
00:23:58,195 --> 00:24:01,680
A number of lost pyramids
have been discovered in mexico
409
00:24:01,757 --> 00:24:03,791
Since that time.
410
00:24:03,867 --> 00:24:06,752
And as recently as 2022,
411
00:24:06,862 --> 00:24:09,572
Archaeologists
uncovered the ruins
412
00:24:09,607 --> 00:24:12,457
Of an ancient maya city
filled with pyramids
413
00:24:12,534 --> 00:24:15,402
In the yucatán peninsula.
414
00:24:15,404 --> 00:24:19,798
What I find fascinating
about edgar cayce is the depth
415
00:24:19,875 --> 00:24:22,701
And the breadth of his insights,
416
00:24:22,703 --> 00:24:27,306
His readings, and how
it's been corroborated,
417
00:24:27,308 --> 00:24:30,092
Uh, by independent researchers.
418
00:24:31,362 --> 00:24:35,455
He not only talked about ancient
history and the pyramids,
419
00:24:35,533 --> 00:24:39,893
But one area in particular
is his work on the essenes,
420
00:24:39,895 --> 00:24:41,320
The jewish mystics out of...
421
00:24:41,396 --> 00:24:44,023
The order out of which jesus
and john the baptist emerged.
422
00:24:44,058 --> 00:24:47,318
In the 1930s,
he was discussing the essenes
423
00:24:47,394 --> 00:24:50,153
And telling us
what the essenes believed.
424
00:24:50,155 --> 00:24:54,324
Nobody knew anything
about this before 1947,
425
00:24:54,326 --> 00:24:56,568
When the dead sea scrolls
were discovered
426
00:24:56,645 --> 00:24:59,538
And then translated
in the 1950s.
427
00:25:01,225 --> 00:25:02,916
Narrator:
In cayce's readings,
428
00:25:02,918 --> 00:25:06,653
He provided a number of details
about the essenes,
429
00:25:06,731 --> 00:25:09,939
Such as his claim that,
in the essene society,
430
00:25:09,941 --> 00:25:13,326
Men and women
worked and lived together.
431
00:25:13,404 --> 00:25:15,595
At the time of the reading,
432
00:25:15,597 --> 00:25:17,597
Scholars believed
that the essenes
433
00:25:17,599 --> 00:25:21,543
Were a monastic society
composed exclusively of men.
434
00:25:21,621 --> 00:25:24,296
However, in 1951,
435
00:25:24,298 --> 00:25:27,099
More than six years
after cayce's death,
436
00:25:27,134 --> 00:25:31,436
Archaeologists discovered
evidence that cayce was right.
437
00:25:31,513 --> 00:25:35,950
Men and women lived together
in the essene society.
438
00:25:36,886 --> 00:25:40,478
Come to find out,
edgar cayce and his readings
439
00:25:40,556 --> 00:25:43,415
Precisely match what
the dead sea scrolls said.
440
00:25:43,450 --> 00:25:47,210
How can that be?
Edgar cayce must have tapped in
441
00:25:47,212 --> 00:25:52,207
To the past somehow,
some mysterious way.
442
00:25:53,094 --> 00:25:56,386
Narrator:
Is it possible
that edgar cayce was given
443
00:25:56,388 --> 00:25:59,623
A vision of humankind's
long-lost past?
444
00:26:00,226 --> 00:26:02,968
And if so,
could there have been a reason
445
00:26:03,003 --> 00:26:05,938
This secret knowledge
was revealed to him?
446
00:26:05,973 --> 00:26:08,974
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
447
00:26:09,051 --> 00:26:13,312
Another vision cayce had
concerning ancient egypt
448
00:26:13,388 --> 00:26:16,406
And a secret repository
of knowledge
449
00:26:16,408 --> 00:26:20,661
Hidden beneath
the paw of the sphinx.
450
00:26:24,900 --> 00:26:27,909
Narrator:
On July 1, 1932,
451
00:26:27,986 --> 00:26:29,486
While in a trance,
452
00:26:29,563 --> 00:26:32,664
Edgar cayce made
an astonishing claim
453
00:26:32,741 --> 00:26:35,150
That the great pyramid
of giza was built
454
00:26:35,185 --> 00:26:37,577
More than 12,000 years ago.
455
00:26:37,655 --> 00:26:41,990
He also voiced another,
perhaps even more significant,
456
00:26:42,025 --> 00:26:44,943
Revelation when he declared
457
00:26:44,945 --> 00:26:47,253
That a secret chamber
lies hidden
458
00:26:47,331 --> 00:26:51,183
Under the right paw
of the great sphinx of giza.
459
00:26:51,927 --> 00:26:54,169
The chamber is said
to contain records
460
00:26:54,204 --> 00:26:57,347
Of a highly advanced,
lost civilization--
461
00:26:57,425 --> 00:27:00,625
The same one
that the greek philosopher plato
462
00:27:00,702 --> 00:27:04,045
Wrote about
in the 4th century bc,
463
00:27:04,122 --> 00:27:06,272
Known as atlantis.
464
00:27:06,350 --> 00:27:08,625
Henry:
The traditional concept
of atlantis
465
00:27:08,627 --> 00:27:09,701
Is that it was located
466
00:27:09,778 --> 00:27:12,604
Somewhere out in the middle
of the atlantic ocean,
467
00:27:12,639 --> 00:27:14,614
Beyond the straits of gibraltar.
468
00:27:14,692 --> 00:27:17,033
Edgar cayce came along
469
00:27:17,144 --> 00:27:20,012
And filled in tremendous gaps
in details.
470
00:27:20,047 --> 00:27:21,897
In his trancelike state,
471
00:27:21,932 --> 00:27:25,684
He described atlantis
as this very luxurious
472
00:27:25,719 --> 00:27:28,354
And enormously powerful culture.
473
00:27:28,389 --> 00:27:30,522
It had advanced technology.
474
00:27:30,557 --> 00:27:35,160
The capital city was at
the center of circular canals
475
00:27:35,237 --> 00:27:38,079
With magnificent bridges
that linked the canals,
476
00:27:38,156 --> 00:27:40,415
That sailing ships
could sail under.
477
00:27:40,492 --> 00:27:43,702
In cayce's vision,
atlantis became real.
478
00:27:43,737 --> 00:27:45,871
Cayce specifically stated that
479
00:27:45,873 --> 00:27:48,916
Atlantis was an actual,
historical place.
480
00:27:49,918 --> 00:27:51,501
He said this lost world
481
00:27:51,503 --> 00:27:53,379
Was founded by
supernatural beings
482
00:27:53,414 --> 00:27:55,363
That were extraterrestrial.
483
00:27:56,050 --> 00:27:59,843
So, he clearly believed
or stated that there were other
484
00:27:59,845 --> 00:28:03,639
Intelligences in the universe
that interfaced with humanity.
485
00:28:05,075 --> 00:28:07,476
Erich von daniken:
One day, atlantis sunk,
486
00:28:07,511 --> 00:28:10,562
Which in geology makes no sense
that atlantis sunk.
487
00:28:10,597 --> 00:28:13,281
Maybe there was a storm
or whatever
488
00:28:13,358 --> 00:28:15,901
That destroyed atlantis,
maybe it was a war.
489
00:28:15,936 --> 00:28:19,454
Collins:
What edgar cayce said
490
00:28:19,531 --> 00:28:22,849
Was that the survivors
of atlantis
491
00:28:22,927 --> 00:28:26,519
Moved into different parts
of the ancient world.
492
00:28:26,597 --> 00:28:29,197
And they had to build
493
00:28:29,274 --> 00:28:32,284
Three
so-called halls of records.
494
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:37,305
One was to be in what
we know today as the yucatán.
495
00:28:37,382 --> 00:28:40,700
Another was to be somewhere
in the vicinity
496
00:28:40,778 --> 00:28:42,978
Of the island of bimini
in the bahamas.
497
00:28:43,054 --> 00:28:47,132
And the third one
was to be in the area
498
00:28:47,209 --> 00:28:51,060
That we now know as
the giza plateau in egypt.
499
00:28:51,062 --> 00:28:54,063
And these were to be
the repositories
500
00:28:54,065 --> 00:28:56,900
Of all of the knowledge
and wisdom
501
00:28:56,902 --> 00:28:58,777
Of the atlantean people.
502
00:28:58,812 --> 00:29:02,281
Narrator:
Did edgar cayce
access information
503
00:29:02,316 --> 00:29:05,650
About an advanced
extraterrestrial civilization
504
00:29:05,727 --> 00:29:09,137
That inhabited the earth
thousands of years ago?
505
00:29:09,172 --> 00:29:13,917
And if so, could proof
that atlantis once existed
506
00:29:13,919 --> 00:29:15,602
Lie just beneath the feet
507
00:29:15,679 --> 00:29:18,680
Of the great sphinx
of giza in egypt?
508
00:29:18,757 --> 00:29:22,183
For geologist dr. Robert schoch,
509
00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:25,762
Cayce's predictions eerily
echoed his own independent
510
00:29:25,764 --> 00:29:29,424
Investigation at this
iconic egyptian monument.
511
00:29:30,435 --> 00:29:35,564
We conducted a number of
low-energy seismographic studies
512
00:29:35,599 --> 00:29:37,416
Around the base of the sphinx.
513
00:29:37,451 --> 00:29:43,271
We placed geophones around
the perimeter of the sphinx.
514
00:29:43,348 --> 00:29:45,624
We pounded on the steel plate,
515
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:47,876
Which was laid on the surface
of the ground.
516
00:29:47,953 --> 00:29:52,213
This sent energy waves
or sound waves into the rock.
517
00:29:52,290 --> 00:29:55,167
And they bounce off of
different layers of rock.
518
00:29:55,202 --> 00:29:59,204
And from that,
we found areas that indicated
519
00:29:59,281 --> 00:30:04,300
Hollows or chambers
or voids within the rock.
520
00:30:04,302 --> 00:30:07,370
We found one at the rear
of the sphinx,
521
00:30:07,448 --> 00:30:11,557
And we found what looked like
a tunnel-like structure
522
00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:14,060
Basically along
the body of the sphinx.
523
00:30:14,138 --> 00:30:16,688
And we found a large,
rectangular,
524
00:30:16,723 --> 00:30:19,224
Chamber-like structure
525
00:30:19,226 --> 00:30:22,561
Under the left paw
of the sphinx.
526
00:30:22,637 --> 00:30:25,555
This was totally
unexpected to us.
527
00:30:25,633 --> 00:30:29,893
I was simply looking
for mineralogical changes.
528
00:30:29,895 --> 00:30:33,922
Narrator:
Unfortunately,
dr. Schoch's investigation
529
00:30:33,957 --> 00:30:38,393
Would be cut short before he
could follow up on his findings.
530
00:30:38,428 --> 00:30:40,395
Henry:
Dr. Robert schoch comes along,
531
00:30:40,430 --> 00:30:42,672
And it looks like
there's a chamber there.
532
00:30:42,674 --> 00:30:46,918
The egyptian military steps in
and stops the whole affair.
533
00:30:46,995 --> 00:30:49,846
That tells me that
there seems to be
534
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:53,024
Some awareness that there
truly is something there,
535
00:30:53,026 --> 00:30:55,260
And that the
egyptian authorities
536
00:30:55,262 --> 00:30:57,946
Wanted to keep a lid on it
and have kept a lid on it
537
00:30:58,023 --> 00:30:59,231
Till this day.
538
00:30:59,266 --> 00:31:02,450
Based on our seismic analysis,
539
00:31:02,527 --> 00:31:05,579
I have no question
that there is a chamber
540
00:31:05,581 --> 00:31:07,680
Under the left paw
of the sphinx and that
541
00:31:07,758 --> 00:31:11,701
This is an artificial,
human-made chamber.
542
00:31:11,703 --> 00:31:14,779
This is precisely
where edgar cayce suggested
543
00:31:14,856 --> 00:31:18,116
A hall of records might exist.
544
00:31:18,193 --> 00:31:20,669
If we could find
this time capsule,
545
00:31:20,704 --> 00:31:22,713
And it was there, I mean,
this is something
546
00:31:22,789 --> 00:31:25,340
That would literally
change history,
547
00:31:25,375 --> 00:31:29,552
Because there's still
much to be discovered
548
00:31:29,554 --> 00:31:32,647
About the human story--
who we are, where we've been,
549
00:31:32,724 --> 00:31:34,132
Where we're coming from--
550
00:31:34,209 --> 00:31:38,228
And that's what
edgar cayce was talking about.
551
00:31:39,806 --> 00:31:44,067
Narrator:
If edgar cayce really did
receive information
552
00:31:44,069 --> 00:31:47,879
About a so-called hall
of records beneath the sphinx,
553
00:31:47,914 --> 00:31:50,974
Could this be evidence
that he was carrying out
554
00:31:51,051 --> 00:31:54,678
An extraterrestrial agenda
to reveal
555
00:31:54,755 --> 00:31:57,063
Planet earth's true past?
556
00:31:57,141 --> 00:31:59,850
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes
557
00:31:59,926 --> 00:32:01,676
And suggest that cayce
558
00:32:01,711 --> 00:32:07,549
Was also preparing humankind
for an extraordinary future.
559
00:32:11,888 --> 00:32:13,655
Narrator:
Virginia beach.
560
00:32:13,657 --> 00:32:17,175
In this rare footage from 1939,
561
00:32:17,252 --> 00:32:21,121
62-year-old edgar cayce
is captured on film
562
00:32:21,198 --> 00:32:23,315
Among a growing number
of followers
563
00:32:23,350 --> 00:32:27,110
Who now visit him
on a daily basis seeking cures
564
00:32:27,187 --> 00:32:30,948
To their ailments
and insights about the future.
565
00:32:32,342 --> 00:32:36,094
Four years later,
in March of 1943,
566
00:32:36,129 --> 00:32:38,280
Cayce's fame
would grow exponentially
567
00:32:38,315 --> 00:32:41,700
With the publication
of his first biography,
568
00:32:41,702 --> 00:32:46,462
Titled there is a river:
The story of edgar cayce.
569
00:32:46,464 --> 00:32:49,107
Corrine:
There is a river
by thomas sugrue
570
00:32:49,142 --> 00:32:50,700
Was getting a lot of acclaim,
571
00:32:50,778 --> 00:32:53,703
And his name was becoming
more and more familiar
572
00:32:53,705 --> 00:32:54,871
To more and more people.
573
00:32:54,948 --> 00:32:58,383
Also, world war ii
was well underway at that point.
574
00:32:58,460 --> 00:33:01,520
And so, the combination
of people becoming aware
575
00:33:01,555 --> 00:33:04,397
That there was someone
you could ask any question
576
00:33:04,399 --> 00:33:06,692
And you would get
a psychic response,
577
00:33:06,727 --> 00:33:11,246
Edgar cayce started receiving
vast numbers of requests
578
00:33:11,322 --> 00:33:13,306
For readings during that time.
579
00:33:13,383 --> 00:33:16,551
He started giving
eight to ten readings a day.
580
00:33:17,304 --> 00:33:21,647
Van auken:
His psychic readings
took an extreme toll
581
00:33:21,725 --> 00:33:24,543
On his physical body.
582
00:33:24,578 --> 00:33:26,594
His youngest son told me
583
00:33:26,671 --> 00:33:30,181
That he could see
that his father's body
584
00:33:30,334 --> 00:33:32,901
Was not doing well
with so many readings.
585
00:33:32,936 --> 00:33:36,855
Cory:
I believe, when you are
in a deep trance state
586
00:33:36,931 --> 00:33:38,423
And receiving information,
587
00:33:38,500 --> 00:33:40,925
This information
is coming through
588
00:33:41,002 --> 00:33:43,945
From a very, very
high frequency.
589
00:33:44,022 --> 00:33:45,914
So, your brain is working
590
00:33:45,949 --> 00:33:47,607
At this very, very
high frequency
591
00:33:47,717 --> 00:33:50,794
As if you're pressing
on the gas nonstop.
592
00:33:50,904 --> 00:33:53,296
And that gets very exhausting.
593
00:33:53,373 --> 00:33:54,906
If you did that every day,
594
00:33:54,941 --> 00:33:57,909
Eventually, that takes
a toll on you,
595
00:33:57,986 --> 00:34:01,455
And your body starts
to break down.
596
00:34:01,531 --> 00:34:03,081
Corrine:
In September of 1944,
597
00:34:03,116 --> 00:34:05,967
He had a series
of small strokes,
598
00:34:06,044 --> 00:34:08,770
And the reading that he gave
for himself said that he needed
599
00:34:08,805 --> 00:34:13,925
To rest and calm down and not
work as hard as he was working.
600
00:34:15,362 --> 00:34:18,764
Narrator:
On January 3, 1945,
601
00:34:18,799 --> 00:34:23,218
Edgar cayce passed away
at the age of 67.
602
00:34:23,253 --> 00:34:25,419
In the final year of his life,
603
00:34:25,497 --> 00:34:31,309
Cayce performed
an astounding 1,385 readings.
604
00:34:31,386 --> 00:34:34,570
Some say that cayce
worked himself to death.
605
00:34:34,572 --> 00:34:37,065
This was not a means
for him to get rich.
606
00:34:37,142 --> 00:34:39,025
It was a means to help humanity,
607
00:34:39,027 --> 00:34:41,394
To be a conduit of records
608
00:34:41,471 --> 00:34:44,005
From a source
of universal knowledge
609
00:34:44,007 --> 00:34:46,474
That he could share
with humanity.
610
00:34:46,509 --> 00:34:49,761
Narrator:
Edgar cayce stated
that his purpose in life
611
00:34:49,837 --> 00:34:52,572
Was to help his fellow humans.
612
00:34:52,649 --> 00:34:56,009
When he died, he left behind
an enormous archive
613
00:34:56,086 --> 00:34:59,687
Of psychic readings that are
still being studied today,
614
00:34:59,764 --> 00:35:03,858
And which some believe
could provide important clues
615
00:35:03,935 --> 00:35:05,260
About the future.
616
00:35:05,336 --> 00:35:08,346
Cayce is also largely credited
617
00:35:08,423 --> 00:35:10,482
With introducing
the modern world
618
00:35:10,517 --> 00:35:12,758
To holistic medicine.
619
00:35:12,836 --> 00:35:15,670
He's called the father
of holistic medicine
620
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:18,264
Because he was one
of the first people
621
00:35:18,342 --> 00:35:20,842
To really start talking
in america about
622
00:35:20,877 --> 00:35:22,377
The integration and connection
623
00:35:22,453 --> 00:35:24,496
Between our bodies
and minds and spirits.
624
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,500
Horowitz:
He also popularized
certain eastern ideas
625
00:35:28,535 --> 00:35:30,852
With which many americans
were unfamiliar,
626
00:35:30,887 --> 00:35:34,447
Including karma, reincarnation,
627
00:35:34,524 --> 00:35:38,626
As well as a mind-body
connection in medicine.
628
00:35:38,661 --> 00:35:43,181
Meditation
as a therapeutic tool.
629
00:35:43,216 --> 00:35:44,683
Everything that you find today
630
00:35:44,718 --> 00:35:47,126
On the alternative
spiritual scene was
631
00:35:47,204 --> 00:35:50,538
Heightened in public awareness
through edgar cayce's readings.
632
00:35:50,573 --> 00:35:55,710
Van auken:
Edgar cayce said that people
had to fix their thinking,
633
00:35:55,745 --> 00:35:57,987
And you had to have higher help.
634
00:35:57,989 --> 00:36:02,750
You needed your mind
on the right attitude.
635
00:36:02,827 --> 00:36:04,870
It needed to be expectant.
636
00:36:04,905 --> 00:36:08,556
And you needed
some of the life force
637
00:36:08,591 --> 00:36:10,375
Of the spirit flowing better.
638
00:36:10,410 --> 00:36:14,396
Narrator:
Cayce believed that
a holistic approach to life
639
00:36:14,431 --> 00:36:17,340
Was not only beneficial
to a person's health,
640
00:36:17,342 --> 00:36:19,551
But might also lead
to more people
641
00:36:19,586 --> 00:36:22,070
Awakening their own innate
psychic abilities
642
00:36:22,105 --> 00:36:25,831
And learning to access
a higher realm of knowledge
643
00:36:25,909 --> 00:36:28,109
Just as he did.
644
00:36:28,186 --> 00:36:31,671
Einstein said
all existence is energy,
645
00:36:31,748 --> 00:36:34,766
And that energy
is being interconnected
646
00:36:34,842 --> 00:36:36,251
Through the ether.
647
00:36:36,253 --> 00:36:38,920
I think edgar was correct
when he says
648
00:36:38,955 --> 00:36:40,755
That you can tap into
649
00:36:40,790 --> 00:36:43,658
All sorts of information
through the ether.
650
00:36:45,362 --> 00:36:48,104
But this is not a science
in a lab.
651
00:36:48,181 --> 00:36:50,949
We are talking about
the state of consciousness.
652
00:36:51,025 --> 00:36:54,118
Van auken:
Edgar cayce has spoken
about reaching
653
00:36:54,195 --> 00:36:56,120
To a new level of holism.
654
00:36:56,273 --> 00:36:59,640
Higher mental state,
higher vibrational state
655
00:36:59,717 --> 00:37:02,810
Of the body,
and more spirituality.
656
00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:04,629
Even though he was a christian,
657
00:37:04,706 --> 00:37:07,982
His teachings are
way beyond christianity.
658
00:37:08,059 --> 00:37:12,162
They pick up on buddhism,
hinduism, daoism,
659
00:37:12,238 --> 00:37:13,813
And the kabbalah teachings.
660
00:37:13,890 --> 00:37:17,008
As humans become
more enlightened,
661
00:37:17,085 --> 00:37:22,663
They can still get new
information from cayce's files.
662
00:37:23,242 --> 00:37:27,410
Narrator:
Could it be that, by studying
edgar cayce's teachings,
663
00:37:27,412 --> 00:37:31,089
Anyone can learn how to access
a higher realm?
664
00:37:31,124 --> 00:37:35,343
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
665
00:37:35,345 --> 00:37:37,479
Edgar cayce's visions
of a future
666
00:37:37,514 --> 00:37:42,092
In which humans develop
profound new abilities.
667
00:37:47,491 --> 00:37:50,691
Narrator:
Over the course of his life,
edgar cayce gave readings
668
00:37:50,768 --> 00:37:53,686
Concerning everything
from critical illnesses
669
00:37:53,688 --> 00:37:56,773
To the ancient past
to major world events.
670
00:37:56,850 --> 00:38:01,260
But perhaps most intriguing
among his many prophecies
671
00:38:01,338 --> 00:38:03,822
Is one that predicts
the emergence
672
00:38:03,857 --> 00:38:06,674
Of an advanced group of humans.
673
00:38:06,709 --> 00:38:10,311
In July of 1932,
edgar cayce predicted
674
00:38:10,463 --> 00:38:13,748
That a new type of human being
would walk the earth.
675
00:38:13,783 --> 00:38:16,960
He referred to them
as the fifth root race
676
00:38:17,037 --> 00:38:20,179
And described
this new being as having
677
00:38:20,181 --> 00:38:25,476
Enhanced psychic powers,
telekinesis, psychic ability,
678
00:38:25,553 --> 00:38:29,138
And expanded
consciousness capabilities.
679
00:38:29,140 --> 00:38:31,232
Root races are a concept
that emerged
680
00:38:31,309 --> 00:38:35,036
From madame h.P. Blavatsky's
two-volume work,
681
00:38:35,071 --> 00:38:38,647
The secret doctrine,
which was published in 1888.
682
00:38:38,649 --> 00:38:42,818
Blavatsky maintained that,
over vast stretches of history,
683
00:38:42,820 --> 00:38:47,973
Humanity would be moving into
different evolutionary stages,
684
00:38:47,975 --> 00:38:52,328
Uh, of expanded psychical
abilities, for example.
685
00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:57,925
Edgar's predictions
of an emergent generation
686
00:38:58,002 --> 00:38:59,927
In the early 21st century
687
00:38:59,962 --> 00:39:02,113
With heightened
psychic abilities
688
00:39:02,189 --> 00:39:05,717
Arguably could line up
with similar predictions that
689
00:39:05,752 --> 00:39:07,660
Can be gleaned from blavatsky.
690
00:39:07,662 --> 00:39:09,770
Collins:
The fifth root race,
691
00:39:09,847 --> 00:39:13,432
It's something similar
to the idea that a lot of
692
00:39:13,434 --> 00:39:16,110
New age people started
to talk about
693
00:39:16,145 --> 00:39:18,121
From about the 1980s onwards.
694
00:39:18,198 --> 00:39:20,899
The idea that
children would be born
695
00:39:20,934 --> 00:39:23,025
Much more psychically sensitive.
696
00:39:23,027 --> 00:39:26,463
They were referred to as
the so-called indigo children
697
00:39:26,539 --> 00:39:28,406
Or the star children.
698
00:39:28,441 --> 00:39:31,700
And that, come the 21st century,
699
00:39:31,702 --> 00:39:36,447
There would be this
huge rise in psychic powers
700
00:39:36,524 --> 00:39:41,026
Of spirituality and oneness
with the cosmos.
701
00:39:41,696 --> 00:39:44,288
Cayce talked about
individuals being born
702
00:39:44,365 --> 00:39:47,926
That will have psychic gifts
that will be advanced.
703
00:39:47,961 --> 00:39:50,962
And I tend to believe that is
what's happening on the earth.
704
00:39:51,114 --> 00:39:53,080
A lot of people are
coming around to these
705
00:39:53,158 --> 00:39:55,783
Ancient ideas of metaphysics
and spirituality.
706
00:39:55,818 --> 00:39:58,653
And I have encountered
a lot of young people
707
00:39:58,729 --> 00:40:02,231
And worked with them
who have incredible gifts.
708
00:40:02,233 --> 00:40:04,109
And we will see through time
709
00:40:04,144 --> 00:40:07,112
If there's a changing
of the guard in humanity.
710
00:40:08,757 --> 00:40:11,724
Narrator:
Is it possible
that edgar cayce's vision
711
00:40:11,801 --> 00:40:15,161
Of a fifth root race
is coming true?
712
00:40:16,330 --> 00:40:19,157
And if so,
could this provide insight
713
00:40:19,233 --> 00:40:23,085
Into a greater mission
behind cayce's life's work?
714
00:40:23,087 --> 00:40:25,738
There are some
ancient astronaut theorists
715
00:40:25,740 --> 00:40:27,682
Who believe
that these predictions
716
00:40:27,758 --> 00:40:31,302
Of humanity's future
may actually be part of a plan
717
00:40:31,337 --> 00:40:36,832
To prepare us for the return of
our extraterrestrial ancestors.
718
00:40:37,644 --> 00:40:42,346
Shimkhada:
Edgar cayce believed
that the akashic record
719
00:40:42,423 --> 00:40:46,133
Can be accessed by anyone.
720
00:40:46,211 --> 00:40:48,844
And I think that
is absolutely true.
721
00:40:48,922 --> 00:40:53,007
It's just that we have not
awakened ourselves.
722
00:40:53,042 --> 00:40:58,121
But if you are able access
the records, like edgar cayce,
723
00:40:58,198 --> 00:41:01,532
Then the gate
to universe opens up.
724
00:41:01,609 --> 00:41:04,443
I think it's very interesting
to make a correspondence between
725
00:41:04,521 --> 00:41:08,589
Ancient astronaut theory
and what cayce was proposing.
726
00:41:08,591 --> 00:41:10,950
The common denominator is
that there was once
727
00:41:11,027 --> 00:41:14,879
A glorious past civilization
where humans interacted
728
00:41:14,956 --> 00:41:17,790
With extraterrestrial beings,
the gods.
729
00:41:17,867 --> 00:41:19,367
They lived amongst us.
730
00:41:19,402 --> 00:41:22,603
And one day, they will return,
and humankind
731
00:41:22,605 --> 00:41:24,713
Will have full knowledge
of its past,
732
00:41:24,791 --> 00:41:27,901
And we will live
in a new golden age.
733
00:41:29,087 --> 00:41:33,764
Narrator: Secrets to healings
bordering on miraculous,
734
00:41:33,842 --> 00:41:38,069
Lost knowledge of mankind's
true ancient origins,
735
00:41:38,145 --> 00:41:42,189
Visions of a future
in which all humans
736
00:41:42,266 --> 00:41:45,334
Can awaken their innate
psychic abilities.
737
00:41:45,336 --> 00:41:49,430
Is it possible
that edgar cayce's true purpose
738
00:41:49,507 --> 00:41:52,750
Was to demonstrate
to mankind the potential
739
00:41:52,785 --> 00:41:55,870
For unlocking
the secrets of the universe?
740
00:41:55,946 --> 00:41:58,906
Perhaps the truth
will only be found
741
00:41:58,941 --> 00:42:01,425
By accessing
the cosmic knowledge
742
00:42:01,502 --> 00:42:04,362
That exists all around us.
743
